If you are dealing with a generic type definition you should only need to
call MakeGenericType
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.type.makegenerictype.aspx which
creates a closed version of your definition. Naturally a bit more work is
required (have to turn the string for the argument into a type) but
Type.GetType(string) http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/w3f99sx1.aspx does
this fairly well.

Yes, that worked great. Thanks.
Now I have another similar question...
How can I reverse the process and pass a type to a generic method when all
I
have is a string?
so..
using my same method signature...
public virtual ItemType CreateSomething<ItemType>(...) where ItemType:
BaseSomething, New(){
...
}
How could I create a type that I could call this method with? or is that
even possible?
Thanks,
Mike
